Press Release

Wellesley, MA November 5, 2003 - DYS Analytics, Inc., a leader in application performance management for messaging and collaboration, today announced that its family of CONTROL! solutions for messaging and collaboration will be extended to support the IBM Lotus Workplace. By leveraging its expertise in collaboration and messaging application management, DYS Analytics will help IBM Lotus Workplace customers "Efficiencize" their Workplace environment as DYS has done for Lotus Domino and Sametime customers - delivering reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and higher Quality of Service (QoS).

DYS CONTROL! provides comprehensive usage metrics, analysis and monitoring for more efficient management of Lotus networks. DYS CONTROL! solutions enable IT staffs to proactively optimize or "Efficiencize" their messaging and collaboration environment and gain the in-depth understanding required for successful execution of strategic projects such as server consolidations, platform upgrades/migrations and topology redesigns. As IBM Lotus Workplace brings more collaboration capabilities under a common platform, IT staffs need ways to understand and monitor the impact of Workplace features on mission-critical IT services like email and Web conferencing - assuring success from Day One of a Workplace rollout through production deployment and ongoing use.

The new DYS CONTROL! for IBM Lotus Workplace profiles and analyzes Workplace environments so that IT staff can effectively leverage resources and reduce overall costs.

With CONTROL! for Workplace, IT professionals:

• "Efficiencize" their IBM Lotus networks. CONTROL!'s management capabilities keep the application network running at peak performance with troubleshooting/root cause analysis, SLA and email policy compliance reporting, performance monitoring and usage tracking.
• Create usage and metric reports required by management.
• "Efficiencize" strategic projects. CONTROL! provides modeling for the essential "what-if analysis" needed for a variety of critical projects such as server consolidations, platform upgrades and migrations, topology designs, application rollouts and capacity planning. With CONTROL, IT staffs achieve substantial savings in project costs for servers, network and storage and reduced project risks.

CONTROL! allows IT staff to be more strategically focused and spend less time fire-fighting or performing time-consuming manual tasks.

Metrics, Analysis that Deliver Maximum Advantage
"We are excited by the expansive capabilities made easily accessible in the Workplace product," said Andrew Wolff, vice president of products for DYS Analytics. "As enterprises adopt Lotus Workplace for first time deployment, or integrate it into their Notes Domino environments, DYS will be there with our CONTROL! solutions - providing the critical, enterprise wide, usage metrics they need to fully optimize their Lotus messaging and collaboration environments."
